Description
Inspiration from "Oval Gears" by Billion.
Wanted to expand model to 4 gears and discovered that the linkage had to flex - square to parallelogram during rotation.
All elliptical gears here are identical and work due to odd number of teeth.

Instructions
Cut 8 washers, 4 linkages and 4 gears. I used 5mm dowels for axles so size holes according to the dowels you use. Washers need to be glued to ends of axles.
